I keep an offline copy of the Lilypond manual; is there a way to
use GIT or similar to just update my copy without having to
download a 200+ MB tarball each time?

I have a verse that has a very long slur, and the lyrics run into the slur.
Technically, it's the dashes that are printed between the syllables. I'm able
to change the font for that part of the verse to italics, but I can't seem to
figure out what to use to increase the vertical spacing at that
Would it be possible to modify or use slurs and then manually position a dot
near it?

Hello,
I'm trying to combine the two snippets found here:

But adding the \rightbrace is adding a bunch of space above the first verse,
and also it is not correctly centered on the verse - the center of the
In your files, instead of:
\midi
Have:
\include midi.ly
And then you can edit midi.ly to have \midi or not depending on what you
want to do.

I have a file (available at http://schnecke.bombcar.com/random/test.ly ) that
puts extra flats after the refrain.
If I remove the second \key bes \major line in sopMusic then the extra flats
disappear, but the accidentals make it look like it's in C Major or something.
I suspect that this is
I have a \score block at the end of each file that is basically the same, so I
want to move it to an \include.
However, the one line that can change is the \tempo 4 = 72 line.
I tried to define variables in the calling file:
noteName = 4
noteTempo = 72
but
\tempo \noteName = \noteTempo

I noticed in the digest someone talking about Lilypond for Mac working on an

I tried c\ \! but it doesn't work. Is the only option to use a s1?

I have a setting of O Come, O Come Emmanuel that I want to make the refrain in
four-part harmony, but leave the rest of the hymn in melody. Right now I'm
cheating by putting the Refrain as the last part of the first verse.
A copy of the file is here:
{ \voiceOne \Soprano}
\new Voice = Alto{ \voiceTwo \Alto }
\new Staff \clef bass \global \new Voice = Tenor { \voiceOne
\Tenor } \new Voice = Bass {\voiceTwo \Bass }
}

Hi Tom (and Jon)
This almost works perfectly - however, it still prints the actual
barline (or puts the space for it if I set it transparent) as seen
here:
Why not just override the BarLine itself?
I'd like to get a half bar similar to the one you get in Gregorian

be done, but I'm not sure how.

In the attached example, the music begins with a rest (r8) - and
vocalName and shortVocalName don't print on the first line, but do on
subsequent lines.
If I change the rest to a note, it prints correctly (but has an extra
note). Trying a skip and/or a g8\rest both don't work, either.

A feature I would like is to make it so that barchecks don't fail on
the end of a staff started with \partial. Especially in songs, the
last measure will usually be cut down by the same amount as the
\partial at the beginning. Currently I have to hide the time signature
and change time at
finished?
Bar checks are only intended to help you make sure that LilyPond thinks
that the measure is
finished at the same place as you think it is.
If you want an ending bar line, just use \bar |. (or whatever bar type
you wish) but not a bar check.

I would suggest an \endPartial command or similar that tells LilyPond to
